Rohl will have been similar issues to Corberan with them whacking him on a nice new deal at the end of last season so they get a nice chunk of compo when someone eventually comes in for him.

Cannot imagine it would have been more than 2m at the most.

From this, wasn’t clear Potter wanted it and it was too complicated because of bringing his back room staff to the club. 

I'm at peace with Cooper as the new manager. If he has the self awareness and intelligence to learn from past mistakes and improve himself as a manager then the potential is there, particularly with regard bringing younger players through. 

 

However, the fact we wouldn't bring in Corberan for the sake of 2.5-4m release clause (depending what you read) is either just a load of old b0llocks or we really are deep in the mire.

He always seemed honest when he spoke at Forest. A real contrast to the blame shifting, half arsed crap Rodgers was coming out with.

I'm more comfortable with Cooper as manager facing the premier league challenge we face than I would be with Maresca. I never thought the football would work in the prem, and we needed big bucks to make it effective. Under Cooper we have someone who will play youth, is typically flexible with his system to fit what he has, fans of the clubs he's managed love him, seems a genuinely nice bloke, and if we go down he isn't likely to throw the towel in and have his mates in the media trying to get him a new job. 

Not my first choice, but he's here now and I expect he will give us stability going forward.

Looking forward to having more than 1 shot and/or corner within the first 45 minutes tbf

 

Listen to players that have worked under him previously and they all say he makes you feel 10ft tall and ready to run through brick walls for each other…(Sounds a bit like O’Neil)

 

Yes Enzo was the long term idea, but short term for a season at least in a relegation battle I know who I’d back as manager to keep us up.

Appointment makes sense to me. Don’t think Potter was ever too keen on us even when he was linked last time. 
At least Cooper seems keen on taking the job and giving it a go.

 

With the mess of the finances we were never going to go and get a manager with a current club and pay to release him and all his backroom staff he’d want to come over.

 

Be interesting to see what happens with transfer activity now. I don’t think many incoming’s will happen unfortunately.

I would have preferred if we had take the gamble on someone like Arsenal’s assistant manager or even the manager of Sheffield Wednesday Danny Rohl.

 

We can do infinitely better than Cooper but anyway he’s our manager now and we have to back him.

 

But the sooner that the club is sold the better.

We are a poorly run club with upcoming points deduction(s). Our upper management screw ups have been well publicized & most people in the world of football would know that the club is a mess. I don't think there was a massive lineup of candidates.

For me... We were lucky to get Cooper.

Yep, I expect this is likely media spin. The Scum recently made an article claiming sources at Leicester are quietly confident we won't need to sell players, they can't make their minds up.

Feels a bit daft to have spent too much time looking at Potter but at least he's in before the season starts.

 

But with ticket prices as they are, I'll have to back him from afar

[Dahnsouff]

Probably would have preferred Corberan just not sure why, assume because he seems to have less baggage than Potter or Cooper.

Potter made sense from a continuity with Enzo in terms of style, but his reluctance seems apparent and that was discouraging.

Cooper I knew little about beyond reports on here (fool me once…..) but beyond statistical horror, reports of his past work seem encouraging.

 

Excited to see what he can do and what recruits he will be allowed.

Any news on who Cooper will be bringing in as his backroom staff?

[Dahnsouff]

After the Norwich set piece coach apparently.

Welcome woggie

Why does it make it harder to swallow?

Cooper was there number one choice and declined the role.

because RVN has a much higher ceiling on account of playing football that didn't go obsolete at the same time as tamagochis

You can get cream for that.

Yep, looks like you’re spot on as that’s how the club approached it: 

 

 

Damn things must be bad at chelsea if Maresca is reapplying already 

[Clever Fox]

He's clearly the cheapest option.

 

I just hope it works out ok like the Ranieri appointment.

pretty safe bet that the bloke who came through the ranks at PSV has a brighter future than a bloke who's last team ditched him after 18 months of being absolutely turgid and relying on pure luck to stay in this division.

[Posthorn54]

Wonder how many thousands to one our odds are for the title.

[Blue ROI]

Not a very inspiring appointment.

 

But at least it's not Southgate.

[Unabomber]

Thought I’d watch England to cheer me up after the Cooper news and here we are 

[Nolucklcfc]

Could have Gareth in charge 😅

1500 to 1 to win it and 1.4 to 1 for relegation
